In an era where regulatory compliance is becoming more integral to public health, Food Label Maker has revolutionized the food and beverage industry with its cutting-edge nutrition label making software. They offer a comprehensive solution for nutrition analysis and food labeling that adheres to FDA, CFIA, EU, FSANZ and global authority standards so businesses have peace of mind when operating in multiple markets. They have recently updated and added new sets of features to their enterprise plan, including AI integration, enhanced recipe management, and sophisticated costing features, all designed to streamline your labeling process and boost efficiency. Let’s dive into some of the groundbreaking features that set Food Label Maker apart in the world of nutrition label software.
AI-Powered Ingredient Spec Sheet
Let go of manual data entry and introduce intelligent ingredient management into your workflow with our state-of-the-art AI technology.
Streamlining Ingredient Documentation
Ingredient spec sheets are crucial documents that provide essential information about each component in your product, including nutritional composition, allergens, and other vital data that comply with current food regulations. Traditionally, processing these sheets has been time-consuming and prone to human error.
Food Label Maker’s AI-powered system transforms this process, making it faster, more accurate, and effortless. Not only does our platform boast an extensive ingredient database of over 12000 nutrition-verified ingredients, but it also offers an intelligent solution for adding and listing correct ingredients with minimal manual input.
Feature Breakdown
- Effortless Data Upload: Their software can extract information from both PDF files and image formats (PNG) of nutrition labels or specification sheets.
- Intelligent Data Extraction: The AI tool will read this data and automatically fill in your custom ingredients and nutritional information from the detailed spec sheets, including ingredient lists, nutritional composition, sub-ingredients and allergens.
- High Accuracy: The system boasts an impressive 90% accuracy rate in data capture.
- Time-Saving: It dramatically reduces the time spent on manual data entry so your team can focus on more pressing tasks.
Seamless Integration: The extracted data is automatically populated into the appropriate fields, portraying how smoothly it integrates with your existing workflow.
Amino Acid Reporting and PDCAAS Scoring
Accurately and compliantly make protein claims for your recipes using Food Label Maker’s advanced amino acid reporting and Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) calculation features.
Ensuring Protein Quality and Regulatory Compliance
An Amino acid report provides a detailed breakdown of the amino acids in your ingredient, including the amino acid score, value per serving (mg), recipe pattern (mg of Amino Acid in 1g of protein), ideal pattern, and amino acid ratio. It is an evaluation of the protein content in your food products, so you have insights into the nutritional quality of your ingredients. This report is then used to calculate the PDCAAS score. The PDCAAS is a method for evaluating the quality of the protein, by comparing the amino acid profile of a protein to a reference pattern and adjusting for digestibility.
This score is crucial for making accurate protein claims and ensuring your products meet regulatory standards. Regulatory bodies, including the FDA, require PDCAAS calculations for certain protein claims. By providing this information, you ensure compliance and have a powerful marketing tool to showcase the quality of protein in your products.
Feature Highlights
- Detailed Amino Acid Breakdown: Food Label Maker’s software provides a comprehensive nutrition analysis of all essential amino acids in your recipes.
- Automated PDCAAS Calculation: Simply input your protein digestibility score, and the software will calculate the PDCAAS, which usually ranges from 0 to 1.
- Protein Daily Value Adjustment: The software automatically adjusts the protein percent daily value based on the PDCAAS, ensuring accurate labeling.
- Marketing Claim Support: Use the amino acid profile and PDCAAS to substantiate protein quality claims on your products. The tool will automatically suggest which nutrition claims go with your recipe based on the PDCAAS score and the protein value in the recipe. It will specify if you can claim high protein or a good source of protein based on the regulatory guidelines.
- Product Development Insights: Leverage this data to optimize your recipes for improved nutritional profiles.
